“Lesley was amazing with our dog! She sent us plenty of pictures and videos of him! I can tell she loves animals and she was so sweet and loving towards ours. Her own dog is such a sweet boy too! Highly recommend going with Lesley if you want an attentive and loving sitter!”
About: We're a family of six—myself, my husband, our three kids, and our Great Dane, Indigo. We take only one booking at a time so your dog gets our undivided attention and care. Our home is never empty. My husband works from home daily, and our kids are lifelong dog lovers. Indigo is well-loved and spoiled, but she's truly longing for a playmate to chase around our fenced backyard. Mornings and evenings are for short, leisurely walks, while lunchtime calls for a longer jog. Being a mom of four—Indigo included—I bring patience, calm, and attentiveness to every pet I watch. I love sticking to their routine, learning their favorite toy, their favorite spot, and all the little quirks that make them who they are. My husband and I have shared our home with both big and small dogs over the years, so we're comfortable with any size, energy level, or personality. For stays longer than five days, we kindly ask that you bring their bed and an old shirt to help them feel right at home. Until we meet your four-legged family member, know that they'll be treated like one of our own. Morning walks, evening walks, and plenty of play in between. We follow your dog's routine so they feel right at home. Let us know what makes them happy. They'll have free run of our home and a warm spot to sleep at night. We've got a fenced yard and a park down the street. We do everything with them just like you would on a normal day.
About: I’ve volunteered at Marty’s Place Senior Dog Sanctuary as well as SAVE Pet Shelter through my corporate volunteer opportunities. Additionally, my dog is incredibly stubborn and picky so I’m confident that your pet is much more well behaved. All of Yuki’s meals are prepped daily with an assortment of protein options and fresh vegetables to accommodate nutritional needs. I work a full time job, so my schedule will be a bit more limited. I am available most evenings 7pm and later and select weekends. The neighborhood I live in is very walkable and safe. Additionally, I have no concerns taking your dog to the park or other outdoor options to ensure they get the enrichment they need.
“Angela will be with my dog and my dog love her she was friendly and she took care of my dog. Perfect I don’t think my dog miss me that well because she was excellent. She pick her up and drop her off. She fed the dog and walked her for a couple of time.”
“Kelsie was beyond amazing and SO great with our dogs. She was extremely flexible with our schedule, patient with our dogs, sent us updates with photos and videos, and our dogs loved her! Highly recommend her :)”

“Archie spent 6 days with Angela & Michael. Angela is very good with updates and pictures…Archie always enjoys his visits and I it’s nice to know he’s well taken care of. Will use again”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 18 years. I currently have two dogs that run my household. I’ll treat your pups like they’re my own. I work from home 4 days a week, so if your pup is here with me, they’ll never be lonely. They have access to my fenced in yard at any time. I have two dogs that are very friendly and a large fenced in yard with a 4 foot fence. I’m happy to stick to any routine that your dog is used to.
“Lenny was very warm and welcoming. She took good care of Oreo and kept me posted with daily activities with messages, pictures and videos. Oreo was very happy. Will definitely keep Oreo with Lenny again!”
“Eduardo took great care of my big personality dachshund! I needed last minute care and they were so quick and responsive. They sent photos during the stay and my pup had a great time! Will definitely use them in the future!”
About: I love the company of dogs. I'm incredibly comfortable around them. I don't have my own, but I have 2 cats who I cherish and I imagine I would cherish your furbabe(s) just as much for the time I would have them. I have 2 cats! Feeding everyday, scooping litter every other day, replacing water fountain every 2-3 days, and loving them every minute I can between work and on the weekends. I like to offer them as much attention as possible in the form of playing and petting. I am also keen on them eating and drinking properly and making sure their pooping/peeing is regular.
About: At 12, I began walking Frankie the Doberman. She was a traumatized, recent rescue. During my time with her, she learned how to sit, stay, heel, lay down, and roll over. More importantly, she became sociable and affectionate. Since then, I've had numerous dog-walking and sitting experiences, particularly in college. I feel comfortable with dogs of all sizes and types, including large and exuberant dogs (thanks to my 110 lbs chocolate lab), puppies, shy dogs, inexperienced walkers, and mouthy dogs. Long story short, I love animals and enjoy taking on training challenges. I have a flexible schedule. My daily exercise takes the form of long walks, which dogs are great companions on! I am used to traveling around town with dogs and understand how to handle them indoors- in busy places and in their own homes. I am regularly trusted with the personal spaces of my clients. When I dog-sat in college, I regularly stayed overnight in clients' homes, studied in their living rooms, and was invited into professors' offices to dog-sit while they lectured. Dogs often feel most comfortable in their own homes, and I understand that it is necessary to replicate their home environments wherever they go, whether that means bringing their favorite toy on walks or using the specific commands they've been trained with.
“We are so happy we chose Tom to look after Fluffy. He was very professional and kept us posted with pictures. Fluffy is an anxious dog, but Tom made her feel right at home—even letting her sleep on the bed and hang out on the couch. He also let us do a meet-and-greet the day before, which was very helpful. We will definitely be booking with Tom again.”
“I am super grateful for Roseanna and the wonderful care she provided Luna! Luna looked like she was having a blast with her new doggie friends in all the photos and videos Roseanna shared. I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home! I highly recommend Roseanna to anyone looking for a responsive, kind, and super knowledgeable pet sitter.”

Couldn’t be more appreciative of Jolanta’s care of Maisy! It is not easy finding someone who is patient and attentive to shy dogs, and who adapts to the dog’s quirky needs. Her photo and video updates put me at ease and she was very responsive to every message. She has the perfect yard for dogs to run around and yet she goes out of her way to take them for enriching walks too! Maisy is looking forward to her next visit I am sure!
Megan and Jay took wonderful care of my three dogs. All my anxiety and trepidation that I had felt when booking their stay quickly turned into calm and confidence when I met Megan and Jay , chatted with them and saw their wonderful space setup. The communication from Megan was terrific and seemingly always came just as I started to wonder how my little one’s were getting along . I would recommend them .
Macauley was absolutely the best! Our pet was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for with her. It was clear from the moment we met that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. We came back to a happy, relaxed, and well-loved pet, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their furry family member!
I highly recommend Darin and McKenna as pet sitter! Our two dogs just spent a week at their place, and it truly felt like they were on their own luxury vacation. From the start, Darin and McKenna were incredibly attentive to every detail and specific need our pups had. They didn’t just "watch" our dogs; they genuinely befriended them and invested a lot of personalized time and affection into making them feel at home. What impressed us most was their dedication during a particularly tough week of heavy snow. Despite the weather challenges, they remained completely unfazed and stayed "up to the task," ensuring our dogs were safe, pampered, and happy throughout the storms. If you are looking for sitters who are responsible, caring, and go the extra mile, Darin and McKenna are the best choice. Our dogs can’t wait to go back!
On a last minute request, Jhonny took care of both my dog and my mom’s dog. He did not require a meet and greet which was extremely helpful as we were kind of in a bind. Ultimately, Jhonny came across as genuinely caring about the animals, and we couldn’t be happier with how our pups came home. It was like they never left. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing experience with Andrea! She was absolutely wonderful with our dog, and it was clear from the start that he felt comfortable and happy with her. She and her family treated him like he was truly part of the crew, which gave me so much peace of mind. She sent pictures throughout the day, and in every single one he looked relaxed, loved, and having a great time. I couldn't have asked for better care. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in the area and can't wait to have my dog stay with her again! Thanks, Andrea!!! 🫶

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
